A new series of studies has found that English prisoners with cancer face higher death risks due to less access to curative treatments like surgery. ow.ly/zc0i50RFsoE @spuddyjo #CancerCare #PrisonReform #HealthEquality

My first paid employment after being diagnosed with blood cancer was assisting on this project, and it's finally here. Amazing!
We're excited to announce that a groundbreaking new tool has been developed to pinpoint gaps in awareness of blood cancer symptoms! 💡
With funding from Blood Cancer UK, researchers from the @CancerAtSurrey & @QMUL of London have developed the 'Blood Cancer Awareness Measure' 🩸

#workingwithcancer 👉🏼50% of #cancer patients are afraid to tell their #employer about their #diagnosis, despite 92% feeling that support at #work positively impacts their health
1 in 2 employees with a cancer diagnosis are afraid to speak with their employers about it.
We want to end the stigma and raise awareness so that more employers take the pledge to support #workingwithcancer.
Access the pledge here 👇🏻
